Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(105 ILCS 5/10-22.11) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-22.11)
Sec. 10-22.11. Lease of school property.
(a) To lease school
property to another school district, municipality or body politic and
corporate for a term of not to exceed 25 years, except as otherwise
provided in this Section, and upon such terms and conditions as may be
agreed if in the opinion of the school board use of such property will
not be needed by the district during the term of such lease; provided,
the school board shall not make or renew any lease for a term longer
than 10 years, nor alter the terms of any lease whose unexpired term may
exceed 10 years without the vote of 2/3 of the full membership of the board.
(b) Whenever the school board considers such action advisable and in
the best interests of the school district, to lease vacant school
property for a period not exceeding 51 years to a private not for profit
school organization for use in the care of persons with a mental disability who are trainable and educable in the district or in the
education of the
gifted children in the district. Before leasing such property to a
private not for profit school organization, the school board must adopt
a resolution for the leasing of such property, fixing the period and
price therefor, and order submitted to referendum at an election to be held
in the district as provided in the general election law, the question of
whether the lease should be entered into. Thereupon, the secretary
shall certify to the proper election authorities the proposition for
submission in accordance with the general election law. If the majority
of the voters voting upon the proposition vote in favor of the leasing,
the school board may proceed with the leasing. The proposition shall be
in substantially the following form:
-------------------------------------------------------------- Shall School District No. ..... of..... County, Illinois lease to YES..... (here name and identify thelessee) the following described vacant ----------------------school property (here describe theproperty) for a term of ..... years NOfor the sum of .....

This paragraph (b) shall not be construed in such a manner as to
relieve the responsibility of the Board of Education as set out in
Article 14 of the School Code.
(c) To lease school buildings and land to suitable lessees for educational
purposes or for any other purpose which serves the interests of the
community, for a term not to exceed 25 years and upon such terms and
conditions as may be agreed upon by the parties, when such buildings and land are
declared by the board to be unnecessary or unsuitable or
inconvenient for a school or the uses of the district during the term of
the lease and when, in the opinion of the board, the best interests of
the residents of the school district will be enhanced by entering into
such a lease. Such leases shall include provisions for adequate
insurance for both liability and property damage or loss, and
reasonable charges for maintenance and depreciation of such buildings and
land.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, a lease for vacant school property may exceed 25 years for renewable energy resources, as defined in Section 1-10 of the Illinois Power Agency Act. (Source: P.A. 102-662, eff. 9-15-21.)
